DURAN DURAN lyrics - Shadows On Your Side
Shackled and raised for a shining crowd
They want you to speak but the music is louder than
All of their roar wit the heat of the planet's core-but
CHORUS
The shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night
Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend
To a tune of its own
Hey you'll never hear that voice again
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that you're having the
Time of your life when your life is on the slide-but
CHORUS
Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run you can dive you can stand and you can soar
Whichever way you can be sure-that
CHORUS
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - The Ballad Of Skip Wiley
He's a man on a mission
Wild as a ricochet
Picture if you can when the Everglades ran
From the Gulf Coast to Biscayne Bay
He's gonna give it back to the gators
Lock the tourists up in theme parks and zoos
He says join me for lunch at the reptile's brunch
Where the barometer soup is you
He's crazy and dangerous
But who else can you trust
He's the outlaw in all of us
The environmental terrorist
You can mess with that mouse in Orlando
Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine
You can shoplift all day at Blockbuster
But you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen
No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen
[Spoken:]
That's unthinkable in the state of Florida
What would the Chamber of Commerce say
This man is sick
Yeah
There were crimes of epic proportions
All part of Skip Wiley's crusade
Tourists were cackin'
And tourists were packin'
While he and Skink cooled there heels in the shade
Then came the citrus sensation
Welcome to the revolution he said
With a pirates persona
He snatched the gridiron madonna
And the day groovers called for his head
He's crazy and dangerous
But who else can you trust
He's the outlaw in all of us
The environmental terrorist
You can mess with that mouse in Orlando
Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine
You can rag on the Miami Dolphins
But you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen
No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen
No, No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen
[Spoken:]
Well Skip's caper it kinda backfired
Got the orange juice barons rather upset
In the light of bad moves these manhunts ensued
Skip easily slipped through the net
He was last seen atop of a mangrove
Perched like a wounded osprey
He was not meant to last
He belongs to the past
And I hope he gets there one day
He's crazy and dangerous
But who else can you trust
He's the outlaw in all of us
The environmental terrorist (terrorist)
You can mess with that mouse in Orlando
Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine
You can shoplift your days at Blockbuster
But you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen
No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen
No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen
That's right

CELINE DION lyrics - One Heart
(One heart you are following)
You can run and you can begin'
In a place where you don't fit in
Love will find a way...yeah
When you're down, you can start again
Turn around and you think you're in
Love will find a place yeah
If you got one heart you are followin'
One dream keeps you wondering
Love lights your way through the night
One wish keeps you tryin'
Once your silver lining
Loves lights your way through the night
You can fall a thousand time
You can feel like you've lost your mind
Love will find a way oh yeah yeah
In a minute it can change your life
In a moment it can make you right
Love will find a place yeah
If you got one heart you are followin'
One dream keeps you wondering
Love lights your way through the night
One wish keeps you tryin'
Once your silver linin'
Loves lights your way through the night
Everybody needs something to hold on to
Everybody needs something to hold on to
if you got one heart you are followin'
one dream keeps u wondering
love lights your way through the night
One wish keeps you tryin'
once your silver linin'
Loves lights your way through the night
One wish keeps you tryin'
Once your silver linin'
Loves lights your way through the night
Love will find a way
Love will find a way in your heart
OHIO PLAYERS lyrics - Who'd She Coo
Are you ready
Do what you wanna do

Just as long as you Who'd she coo
Everybody (Everybody do it, do the Who'd she coo)
Who'd she coo
Who'd she coo
Everybody
(Everybody do it, do the Who'd she coo)
Who'd she coo
[Keep repeating]

RAY CHARLES lyrics - Manhattan
Summer journeys to Niag'ra
And to other places aggra-
Vate all our cares.
We'll save our fares!
I've a cozy little flat in
What is known as old Manhattan
We'll settle down
Right here in town!
We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten
Island too.
It's lovely going through
The zoo!
It's very fancy
On old Delancy
Street you know.
The subway charms us so
When balmy breezes blow
To and fro.
And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street
In July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.
The great big city's a wonderous toy
Just made for a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy!
We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers
In the whiles
And starve together dear, in Chiles
We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say
We both may see it close, some day
The city's glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy!
[Another version:]
Summer journeys to Niag'ra
And to other places aggra-
Vate all our cares.
We'll save our fares;
I've a cozy little flat in
What is known as old Manhattan,
We'll settle down
Right here in town.
We'll have Manhattan,
The Bronx and Staten
Island too.
It's lovely going through the Zoo.
It's very fancy
On old Delancey
Street you know.
The subway charms us so,
When balmy breezes blow
To and fro.
And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street
In July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.
The great big city's a wondrous toy
Just made for a girl and boy --
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.
We'll go to Greenwich,
Where modern men itch
To be free,
And Bowling Green you'll see with me.
We'll bathe at Brighton,
The fish you'll frighten
When you're in,
Your bathing suit so thin
Will make the shellfish grin,
Fin to fin.
I'd like to take a
Sail on Jamaica
Bay with you,
And fair Canarsie's Lakes we'll view.
The city's bustle cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy --
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.
We'll go to Yonkers,
Where true love conquers
In the wilds
And starve together, dear, in Childs'.
We'll go to Coney
And eat bologny
On a roll,
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole,
Soul to soul.
And South Pacific
Is a terrific
Show they say,
We both may see it close some day.
The city's clamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil --
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.
We'll have Manhattan,
The Bronx and Staten
Island too,
We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue.
As black as onyx
We'll find the Bronix
Park Express,
Our Flatbush flat, I guess,
Will be a great success,
More or less.
A short vacation
On Inspiration
Point we'll spend,
And in the station house we'll end.
But Civic Virtue cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy --
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy!
ROGER WATERS lyrics - 5.06 AM (Every Strangers Eyes)
Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?
I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
Ok you take cream and sugar?
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs and sleeping forms
On pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And now from where I stand
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
I look around, I search the skies
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes it's obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love
THE KINKS lyrics - Time Will Tell
Time will tell if I will drift eternally,
Through life instead of being someone.
All of my life, you are the one, you're on my mind.
Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find,
Time will tell if I'll survive.
I'd rather be dead than just pretend I'm alive.
Time will tell, it's just a matter of time.
It's just a matter of time.
Time will tell if we will be the same as now,
Or not, if not, then never mind.
All of my life, you are the one, you're on my mind.
Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find,
Time will tell if I'll survive.
I'd rather be dead than just pretend I'm alive.
Time will tell, it's just a matter of time.
It's just a matter of time.
Time will tell if dreams become reality,
For you got me, as long as you want.
All of my life, you are the one, you're on my mind.
Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find,
Time will tell if I'll survive.
I'd rather be dead than just pretend I'm alive.
Time will tell, it's just a matter of time.
It's just a matter of time.
It's just a matter of time.
ALICE IN CHAINS lyrics - Bleed The Freak
My cup runneth over
Like blood from a stone
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me
When the pig runs slower
Let the arrow fly
When the sin lies bolder
I'll pluck out thine eye
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me
If you scorn my lover
Satan got your thigh
If you steal in hunger
I will kick you when you try
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me
"All these things that you've done for me,
Have left me so... FUCKING TIRED
I'm not saying that you haven't done a lot of good,
But if there's one thing you can do,
You can BLEED FOR ME, BLEED FOR ME"
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

DAVE DAVIES lyrics - Picture Book
Picture yourself when you're getting old,
Sat by the fireside a-pondering on[?].
Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.
Picture book, of people with each other, to prove they love each other a long ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.
A picture of you in your birthday suit,
You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon.
Picture book, your mama and your papa, and fat old Uncle Charlie out boozing with their friends.
Picture book, a holiday in August, outside a bed and breakfast in sunny Southend.
Picture book, when you were just a baby, those days when you were happy, a long time ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book,
Na, na, na, na na,
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo.
Picture book,
Na, na, na, na na,
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo.
Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
HERMAN'S HERMITS lyrics - Wild Love
(Karger / Weisman / Wayne)
Why are these teardrops still falling from my eyes?
You'd think by now I'd be wise
Those words you whispered just won't leave me yet
I still can hear you sighing,
All love will be undying
And I keep trying to forget
Would've been
Should've been
Could've been a wild love
How very clever it must have made you feel
To know your kiss was never real
And though it's over
My heart won't let you go
I hear your sigh and laughter
In every beam and rafter
Forever after I'll still know
Would've been
Should've been
Could've been a wild love
I still can hear you sighing,
All love will be undying
And I keep trying to forget
Would've been
Should've been
Could've been a wild love
ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Wonderboy
(Lyrics: Gold/music: Gold-Bloss)
I haven't been very good
For some time but now I listen to the music once again
To bowie and the petshop boys
Getting better as the music's getting back to my head
When the moon has turned the blood
At the end of the world
Then the saints go marchin in and everybody starts to cry
Wake up, wonderboy
I haven't been very well
Feeling kind of seasick, tryin' to follow your contrail
You're flying miles above my head
While I'm dreaming underwater sleeping in a whale
When the stars begin to shine
Let me be in this number
And then it comes within a wave, like lsd to phantasy
Like gasoline into a fire, like virgin blood to a vampire
And everybody starts to smile
Cause i'm the wonderboy again...
Wake up, wonderboy..
RUSH lyrics - Animate
Polarize me
Sensitize me
Criticize me
Civilize me
Compensate me
Animate me
Complicate me
Elevate me
Goddess in my garden
Sister in my soul
Angel in my armor
Actress in my role
Daughter of a demon lover
Empress of the hidden face
Priestess of the pagan mother
Ancient queen of inner space
Spirit in my psyche
Double in my role
Alter in my image
Struggle for control
Mistress of the dark unconscious
Mermaid of the lunar sea
Daughter of the great enchantress
Sister to the boy inside of me
My counterpart, my foolish heart
A man must learn to rule his tender part
A warming trend, a gentle friend
A man must build a fortress to defend
A secret face, a touch of grace
A man must learn to give a little space
A peaceful state, a submissive trait
A man must learn to gently dominate
Polarize me
Sensitize me
Criticize me
Civilize me
Compensate me
Animate me
Complicate me
Elevate me
STEPHEN STILLS lyrics - Only Love Can Break Your Heart
When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone
I was always thinkin' of games that I was playin'
Tryin' to make the best of my time
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart
And so my friend if you have seen
The other side of all those dreams
Know that you can take it as far as you would want to
Don't believe the great run around
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Send Me An Angel
The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
JOHN HIATT lyrics - Take Off Your Uniform
You've been a good girl
You've been a bad girl
You're not a girl anymore
Deep in a picture show
Unbuttoned in the last row
You watched the grown-ups win the war
Now that they've got you where they want you
You're just combin' your hair
The alteration's done, but you're havin' way too much fun
They want to touch you but you just don't care
Take off your uniform
They see what they want to see
You should have never been born
You'd better stay with me
Your replacement
Waits in the basement
They've got her down to your smile
She writes those letters too
She thinks she's better than you
She says you're just a foolish child
They got her smilin' while she's dialing
She's such a clever machine
She'd fit in anywhere, now that her vision's impaired
She listens up, but she don't know what they mean
Take off your uniform
They see what they want to see
You should have never been born
You'd better stay with me
Everyone's happy with your daily activities
They like that tone in your voice
Now that you're finally an adult in America
You're too dumb to have a choice
Take off your uniform
They see what they want to see
You should have never been born
Take off your uniform
They see what they want to see
You should have never been born
You'd better stay with me
PRINCE lyrics - The Love We Make
Desperate is the day that is 2morrow
4 those who do not know the time has come
2 whip the dogs that beg, steal or borrow
From the table God set 4 His Son
Wicked is the witch that stands 4 nothing
All the while watching 2 see U fall
Deeper than the ditch that bred your suffering
The one being dug right now by them all
Happy is the way 2 meet your burdens
No matter how heavy or dark the day
Pity on those with no hope 4 2morrow
It's never as bad as it seems until we say
Precious is the baby with a mother
That tells him that his Saviour is coming soon
All that believe will cleanse and purify themselves
Put down the needle, put down the spoon [x2]
Sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing, oh
While seeking 2 give thanks 4 every breath we take, oh
Blessed are we inside this prayer
4 in the new world, we will be there
The only love there is, is the love we make [x2]
(The only love there is, is the love we make)
Only love there is, only love there is
The only love there is, is the love we make (Yeah)
The only love there is, is the love we make
PULP lyrics - The Trees
I took an air-rifle, shot a magpie to the ground & it died without a sound.
Your skin so pale against the fallen Autumn leaves & no-one saw us but the trees.
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees produce the air that I am breathing.
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees; they never said that you were leaving.
I carved your name with a heart just up above - now swollen, distorted, unrecognisable; like our love.
The smell of leaf mould & the sweetness of decay are the incense at the funeral procession here, today.
In the trees, those useless trees, etc.
You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be.
Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me.
Oh no, no I might as well go & tell it to the trees.
Go & tell it to the trees, yeah.
HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?
(Hughie Cannon)
On one summer's day,
The Sun was shinin' fine,
The lady love of old Bill Bailey
Was hangin' clothes on the line
In her back yard,
And weepin' hard.
She married a B&O brakeman
That took and throwed her down,
Bellerin' like a prune-fed calf
With a big gang hanging round
And to that crowd,
She hollered loud
[Chorus:]
Won't you come home, Bill Bailey
Won't you come home?
She moans the whole day long.
I'll do the cookin', darling
I'll pay the rent,
I know I've done you wrong;
'member that rainy eve that
I threw you out,
With nothing but a fine-tooth comb?
I know I'm to blame,
Well, ain't that a shame
Bill Bailey won't you please come home.
Bill drove by that door
In an automobile,
A great big diamond, coach and footman
Hear that lady squeal.
He's all alone
I heard her groan.
She hollered through the door
Bill Bailey, is you sore?
Stop a minute, listen to me
Won't I see you no more?
Bill winks his eye
As he heard her cry
[Chorus]

L. A. GUNS lyrics - I'd Love To Change The World
Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich feed the poor
Till there are no
Rich no more
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding
Still more feeding economy
Life is funny
Skies are sunny
Bees make honey
Who need money monopoly
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
World pollution no solution
Institution execution
Black an' white
Rich or poor
Them and us
Stop the war
CARLY SIMON lyrics - Coming To Get You
(Carly Simon)
Last night you called me from Arkansas
So that's where you are!
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
So they think they can take you away from your ma -
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
Mother in-law, father in-law
Lovers and lawyers in Arkansas
Laid down the law;
Said I was crazy
Crazy and lazy
They expect me to go before a judge and stand there shaking
While my heart is breaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
Mother in-law, father in-law
Lovers and lawyers in Arkansas
Laid down the law;
Said I was crazy
Crazy and lazy
Oh I'm gonna get a judge who is a lady
I'm comin' to get you, let there be no mistaking
Maybe she knows about having a baby.
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

PULP lyrics - My Lighthouse
Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment; well in fact
It can wait all day
I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see
The beauty of this situation that
You could share with me
It may seem strange
To talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange
To me
Hey
All alone
You and I in our high tower
That's the way
To be
Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower
But I don't mind because I know
Their envy grows by the hour
See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way
All this is mine; it could be yours too
What do you say?
It may seem strange
To talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange
To me
Hey
All alone
You and I in our high tower
That's the way
To be
Hehehey hey.
BEACH BOYS lyrics - Custom Machine
(Brian Wilson)
Check my custom machine
Well she's metal flake blue with a corvette mill
(Check my custom machine)
And they say it looks better when she's standin' still
(Check my custom machine)
When I step on the gas she goes wa aa aa
I'll let you look but don't touch my custom machine
Well with naugahyde bucket seats in front and back
(Check my custom machine)
Everything is chrome, man, even my jack
(Check my custom machine)
When I step on the gas she goes wa aa aa
I'll let you look but don't touch my custom machine
With stereophonic speaker set with vibrasonic sound
(Check my custom machine)
Magnesium spokes, it stands an inch off the ground
(Check my custom machine)
When I step on the gas she goes wa aa aa
I'll let you look but don't touch my custom machine

AMERICA lyrics - Sleeper Train
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin' out the window
In a long stare
Watchin' the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin' 'bout your eyes
Feelin' good to be alive
I was dreamin' of you
Feelin' lucky
I was dreamin' of you
Feelin' lucky
And I was watchin' the towns drift into view
Listenin' to my thoughts of you
And the rhythm of the wheels
And the shadows on the hills
Leavin' one more life behind
Never knowin' what I'd find
Such a distant great expanse
And the dust-devils, they dance
And I was dreamin' of you
Feelin' lucky
I was dreamin' of you
Feelin' lucky
Abandon everything that went before
Ahead now lies another open door
Abandon everything that went before
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin' out the window
In a long stare
Watchin' the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin' 'bout your eyes
Feelin' good to be alive
I was dreamin' of you
Feelin' lucky
I was dreamin' of you
Feelin' lucky
I was dreamin' of you
Feelin' lucky
I was dreamin' of you
Feelin' lucky
The train kept rollin'

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - E Eats Everything
A hardly has an appetite
And pokes at food too long
And B can barely bother
Because all the food is wrong
C likes only candy
And chocolate by the box
D is just disinterested
In anything you've got
But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything
E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything
So toss in on a plastic plate
Or stick it with a fork
Serve it with a shovel
Or serve it on a spork
Yeah, E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything
F is far too fussy
And only eats with fancy wine
G eats only gourmet
But never can decide
H burns food so horrible
All I tastes is smoke
J just likes drinking juice
And K drinks only soda
But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything
E is eating in a moving car
E is eating upside down
E is eating on a spaceship
E is eating off the ground
L and M and N and P
Won't start 'til O arrives
Q and R and S and T
Are wearing clothes much too tight
U and V and W
Are worn out from this song
And X and Y just will not share
And will not get along
But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything
But look out now, here it comes
That final letter Z
Now Z's not like other letter
Z's only eating E's
Yeah, Z eats E's
Yeah, Z eats E's
Z eats E's
Yeah, Z eats E's
JOHN KAY & STEPPENWOLF lyrics - The Balance
Nineteen-hundred-sixty-four
We were kids, didn't know about the war
Still wasting time in school
There were Joe and Sue, Jack and Jim
A couple more in the second string
All the rest just weren't cool
Ah, we'd hang around in our little gang
Having dreams, making plans
For the outside world
But when I see us now
I really find it strange
How little, how much we've changed
In the years gone by
I guess it's meant to be that way
Jimmy always played the clown
It was his way of hanging on to the crowd
But when he was down he'd come around
To get his hands on every agent known to man
No matter how from aspirin to zylatoll
Crazy Jimmy tried them all
And he was dying but now he's fine
For he gets up at five o'clock
Runs ten miles in the L. A. smog
Still crazy
I've heard him say that anything worth really doing
Should be done until you're falling down
And though he left the road to ruin
He's found a new way to the ground
He still ain't found his balance
Joe was never hard to please
When they said "Go" he went overseas into battle
He stuck it out to the bitter end
Lived like a dog, fought like a man in the saddle
And when he came home from Vietnam
They said "The war did him no harm"
They're lying
He's known to cry and scream at times, in his dreams
Holding off the nightmares that he sees
Time may heal the nightly screaming
But the scars will still remain
He fights so hard to kill his demon
At times the pain drives him insane
Trying to regain his balance
Jack and Susie lost no tome
They went to college and carried signs in the rally
And finally with cap and gown
They tied the knot and settled down in the valley
Oh but now they've got two little boys
The place is filled with broken toys and dreams
For it seems that Jack, in spite of his degree
Moonlights at night, in the factory
Susie's got the house and the children
But no time for her to grow
And Jack is making their first million
And until they can't let go
I guess they'll owe the balance
We don't talk much anymore
Seems our little gang is bored with callin'
Anyway we're too busy with gettin' on
And looking out for number one
Is all we got in common
With business, home, family
Are we ever all that we could be?
Trading in our fantasy
We live this part time life
Of false security
Seems to me that doers never dream enough
And dreamers often do nothing at all
And to find that middle ground is rough
But I'll be damned if I let go
Stop looking for the balance
ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Steady Rollin' Man
(Robert Johnson)
I am a steady rollin' man
And I roll both night and day.
I am a steady rollin' man
And I roll both night and day.
But I ain't got no sweet woman,
Woo-hoo Lord, to be rollin' this way.
I am the man that rolls
When icicles are hanging on the tree.
I am the man that rolls
When icicles are hanging on the tree.
Why can't you hear me begging mama,
Woo-hoo Lord, down on my bended knee?
[Repeat First Verse]
AMY GRANT lyrics - Lay Down
(Jesse Winchester)
It's a cold cold world
That we're walkin' through
Lay down the burden of your heart
But it's warm as toast
Walkin' two by two
Lay down the burden of your heart
[Chorus:]
Lay down the burden of your heart
I know you'll never miss it
Show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it
It's a fine fine line
Between love and hate
Why, it's tough to tell the two apart
But you know it's love
That He offers you
Lay down the burden of your heart
[Chorus]

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Wallflower
Wallflower, wallflower
Won't you dance with me?
I'm sad and lonely too.
Wallflower, wallflower
Won't you dance with me?
I'm fallin' in love with you.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Wallflower, wallflower
Won't you dance with me?
The night will soon be gone.
I have seen you standing in the smoky haze
And I know that you're gonna be mine one of these days,
Mine alone.
Wallflower, wallflower
Take a chance on me.
Please let me ride you home.

SANTANA lyrics - Hold On
(Ian Thomas)
Don't rush me just this once
I want to make this moment last
Slow down the pace, there's no hurry
I can't let another pass by me again
Let me be the one to say when I've had enough
Just let me close my eyes, memorize
The way things are this minute
So when you're gone I can go on
If memory can hold within it what I'm feeling
Should time try fading or stealing something away
CHORUS:
Hold on, nothing's the same
Tell me why I feel this way
Life wouldn't be worth living without you
All along I've been the pretender
But now that's gone forever
Nobody's ever loved me like you do
Nobody's broken through
Got to concentrate, file away
Every last detail
Don't want to lost what's going down
I want to remember everything I'm feeling
Should time try fading or stealing something away
CHORUS

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - I Should Have Watched That First Step
I once had a love, a true and lasting love,
But the fool in me came out one night.
And with her loving eyes
She saw right through my eyes,
And she changed the night
I stepped across the line.
I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started steppin' out of line.
Though she's still lovin' me
It's not the way it used to be.
That first step did something to her mind.
I watched her slip away
A little more every day
And my conscience couldn't live
With all that pain.
She's growing colder since the day I told her
And the love we had will never be the same.
I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started steppin' out of line.
Though she's still lovin' me
It's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind
That first step did something to her mind.
JOHN DENVER lyrics - It's About Time
(Denver/Hardin)
There's a full moon over India and Gandhi lives again.
Who's to say you have to lose for someone else to win?
In the eyes of all the people, the look is much the same,
for the first is just the last one when you play a deadly game.
It's about time we realize it, we're all in this together.
It's about time we find out, it's all of us or none.
It's about time we recognize it, these changes in the weather.
It's about time, it's about changes, and it's about time.
There's a light in the Vatican window for all the world to see
and a voice cries in the wilderness and sometimes he speaks for me.
I suppose I love him most of all when he kneels to kiss the land,
with his lips upon our mother's breast, he makes his strongest stand.
It's about time we start to see it, the earth is our only home.
It's about time we start to face it, we can't make it here all alone.
It's about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind,
it's about time and it's about changes and it's about time.
There's a man who is my brother, I just don't know his name.
But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same.
And it hurts me when he's hungry and when his children cry.
I too am a father, and that little one is mine.
It's about time we begin it, to turn the world around.
It's about time we start to make it, the dream we've always known.
It's about time we start to live it, the family of man.
It's about time, it's about changes and it's about time.
It's about peace and it's about plenty and it's about time,
It's about you and me together and it's about time.
BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)
[Originally by Phil Collins]
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take
Take a look at me now

ROY ORBISON lyrics - Too Soon To Know
(Don Gibson)
It's too soon to know
If I can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know.
Time passes slow,
Will I ever know
If I can forget her and not let it show
But it's too soon to know.
News travels fast when a love affair ends
People keep asking, "What happened to them?"
But it's too soon to know
If I can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know.
WILL SMITH lyrics - Afro Angel
(Ooh, Ohh)
Here I stand before you - brown.
Color of the mountains
Colossal as the earth
Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery
Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind
Here I stand before you, the color of the night
Frozen by the potential of me
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) An Afro Angel
Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchin above
You on the prowl now, downtown, searchin for love
In all the wrong places, outside your radio stations
Hopin he with new hit single, is tryin to mingle
Today, he is in your town, puttin it down
You in the car with your friends, followin my limo around
Puttin a bug in my boy's ear, your "S" is for free
You'll do anything for Omar or Phil, bring you to me
And then me, hypnotized by the devil as well
Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel
No need to RSVP, place your hand in my palm
As all your girlfriends getting jealous, damn she landed the bomb
Willing to trade your spirit for some crass, whack wage
Something small, something simple as a pass back stage
But now I lay me, down to creep
And I - pray the Lord my soul to keep
[Chorus:]
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
Lil Bobby got a gun now, age fifteen
Destined to spend his life inside a cage it seems
Rage inside, pride, been denied respect
He can't take it though he gotta earn it
But he ain't learned that yet
Out on the town, reckless abandon he's been bullied before
But now he straps, and no more
Attitude high
Flexin on every guy that walk by
But don't start pal
Cuz if the gun came from the whiz, Cowardly Lion, got heart now
Let's pull it on a stranger
Ahh, fun for the crew
Surprised when he realized, damn dude got one too
Smile's upside down now, games ain't so cute
Bobby's a deer in a headlights
Pump, drop it or I'll shoot
Then like a sniper, cleanin his rifle, Bobby disobeys his commands
One shot rings out (gunshot) then only the stranger stands
Could of sworn Bobby's blood formed the shape of an angel's wings
But for what?
[Chorus:]
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
Back in high school, Tamika was the sweetest, the bomb
Hot to death, though in tenth grade a teenage mom
Knocked up by some thug named Russ in the drug game
But had the cutest kid you ever seen
Then all the pressure from her mom
She stepped to Russ
Told him it's either them drugs or us
Either them thugs or us
The ultimatum, either continue bein a thug in the world
Or start lovin your girl
And say God, bear me witness, no doubt, lovin ya dear
But to go from $50 Gees a week to $30 Gees a year
That ain't happenin
I guess he wasn't that strong
He came back the next week, and the whole family was gone
Yo they straight moved away, without as little as a word
Well, needless to say, Russ was a little perturbed
Then in a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend Shawn
And like a clumsy chef she spilled the beans on where they had gone
Upstate Schenectady,
Tamika answered the door
It was the last person she expected to be
They just stared
He said you love me for me?
You can do without the cars, vacations, and jewelry?
Down with me?
Period.
Through life's stress and strife
She said, Yeah, He said in that case
Would you please be my wife?
Then like a sign from the sky, the baby cried
Like an angel sings
I love y'all more than anything
[Chorus:]
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
[Chorus]
JAN AND DEAN lyrics - The Little Old Lady From Pasadena
It's the little old lady from Pasadena
The little old lady from Pasadena
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
But parked in a rickety old garage
Is a brand new, shiny red Super Stock Dodge
[Chorus:]
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena
If you see her on the street don't try to choose her
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
Well, she's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later
'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator
[Chorus]
[Musical Interlude]
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
The guys come to race her for miles around
But she'll give 'em a length and then she'll shut 'em down
[Chorus]
Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go [6x]
[Fade]
U2 lyrics - Electrical Storm
The sea it swells like a sore head and the night it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking
On rainy days we'd go swimming out
On rainy days swimming in the sound
On rainy days we'd go swimming out
You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack there must be someway back
For love and only love
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Baby don't cry
Car alarm won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake dreaming someone elses dream
Coffee is cold but it'll get you through
Compromise that's nothing new to you.
Let's see colours that have never been seen
Let's go places no one else has been
You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
Well if the sky can crack there must be someway back
To love and only love
Electrical storm [x3]
Baby don't cry
It's hot as hell, honey in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
We need the rain to wash away our bad luck
Well if the sky can crack there must be some way back
To love and only love
Electrical storm [x3]
Baby don't cry [x3]
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Moonlight Mood
(H. Adamson, P. DeRose)
[Recorded November 30, 1965, Hollywood]
Moonlight mood when twilight is ending
You're in my moonlight mood and our hearts are blending
There on the same old wall that we used to know long ago
You walked there in a ribbon of moonlight
There you are as lovely as ever
You vowed by every star to love me forever
Although you're far away we meet in my solitude
You are mine when I'm in my moonlight mood...
Then in the moonlight you are mine
When I'm in my moonlight mood...

GREG BROWN lyrics - Further In
Further in, grandmother; grandfather, hold my hand
As I go on through this life and try to understand
The beauty of your faces I will never see again
But I know you're with me now leading me further in
Further in, you friends of mine, they led me further in
I know I've hurt you many times and I've helped you and I will again
You to me and me to you, and us to all of them
The circle that will ever grow as we go further in
Further in, O my love, take me further in
Past the place where love hides its face and down to where we begin
So deep in this mystery, my tears on yours depend
And they like some wild river flow as we go further in
STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Smile
A smiling face is on earth like star
A frown can't bring out the beauty that you are
Love within and you'll begin smiling...
There're brighter days ahead
Don't mess your face up with better tears
'Cause life is gonna be what it is
It's okay, please don't delay from smiling...
There're brighter days ahead
Bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
A smiling face you don't have to see
'Cause it's as joyful as a Christmas tree
Love within and you'll begin smiling...
There're brighter days ahead
Love's not competing it's on your side
You're in life picture so why must you cry
So for a friend please begin to smile - Please
There're brighter days ahead
Bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Please smile for me
Bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Please smile for me
Bum - smile

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Portait Of Authority
nothing more nothing less
an icon on the wall decoration and duress
that which many strive to be
its the merble statue standing over me
and nobody has the will to tear it down
it determines wrong and right
but to me its just a stereotype
and it makes us lose our sight
the portait of authority
you tell me
that's what im supposed to be
(it embodies what he cannot be)
another time another man
and oppressive intrusion
and a plague across his land
and it haunts him every day
it tells him he has no chance
his hopes just fade away
and he can't muster the support
and to him it's just a stereotype
of his life-long fight

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - No Other Love
There were no violins
There were no soft guitars
Hot summer love under the city stars
I was Mr. Dynamite
And you were my only girl
We held each other through the night
Caught in the whirl
[Chorus:]
No other love
In all of the world
In all of my life
There was no other love
There was no fireside
No Beaujolais for two
Winter was cold but we had me and you
All the words we used to say
All the crazy plans we made
We were so nieve that way
So unafraid
[Chorus]
I don't know where it went
Turned into yesterday
Time comes and goes like music in a play
Looking back I still don't know
Why we ever had to end
And it's so hard letting go
Of what we had then
[Chorus]

ZZ TOP lyrics - Beatbox
A nine volt battery from japan
It's got the beat
A little tape deck in my hand
It's so so sweet
Keeps me rockin' 'round the clock
I don't mind it
I got the beatbox, the beatbox,
Just a beatin' that box
Beatbox, beatbox
One c-90's back to back
Jumpin' on that jack
Don't play with fire or
Unplug my wire, beg or steal
It's not for hire
Keeps me rockin' 'round the clock
I don't mind it because
I got the beatbox, the beatbox
Just a beatin' that box
Beatbox, beatbox

IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Fear Is The Key
(Dickinson/Gers)
We live our lives in fever
In chooking sweat of fear
In the heart of the night you can feel so much
In the heat of the night I scream "Don't touch"
[Chorus:]
I remember a time when we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heart of the night... bodies aflame
We live in fever...
I hear your secret heartbeat
I can hear your silent cries
The kids have lost their freedom
And nobodey cares till somebodey famous dies...
[Chorus]
Now we live, in a world of uncertanity
Fear is the key - to what you whant to be
You don't get a say the majority gets it's way
You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die...
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND lyrics - One Of These Days
One of these days
Ain't it peculiar
Gonna look for me
And baby I'll be gone
One of these days
And it won't be long
You gonna call my name
And I'll be far gone
I'm gonna tell you something
That I ain't told no one before
That is if I can't stop dancing
And get my poor self off this bar room floor
One of these days
Ain't it peculiar
Babe you're gonna call my name
You now that I'll be gonne (bye bye baby)
I'm gonna tell you something
That I ain't told no one before
That is if I can't stop dancing
And get my poor self off this bar room floor
One of these days
And it won't be long
You gonna call my name
And I'll be gone
You gonna call my name
And I'll be gone
You gonna call my name
And I'll be gone

Now get crunk motherfucker get crunk (repeat 2X)
Now get drunk motherfucket get drunk (repeat 2X)
Now tell them hoes to drop they clothes
And cut something for the motherfucking d-lo's
[Chorus]
[Too $hort:]
Short short, short, short
Now I don't give a fuck about ya' benz or ya light-skinned bitch
I don't give a fuck who you tell you don't like this shit
The fact still stand you got one girlfriend
And I fill like the whole world's pimp
I can't be like you, always acting fake
I can tell you how much a real mac can make
A million dollars ain't shit to spend
Get some new hoes and get it again
So don't tell me what'cha wish for
You wanna be kept by a rich hoe
Bitch ass nigga, I'm trying to get me a lick
She better pay me right now she wanna get some dick
I told cha' got the game from the old niggas
Everytime I park my car him come the gold diggers
With the easy pussy sign on display
If you looking for some money don't come this way
[Hook: Too Short]
You couldn't be a better player than me
Even if you fucked every day of the week
I know you think you got it like that with P
I be fucking hoes everyday of the week biiitch!!!
[Chorus]
[Too $hort:]
Now I don't give a fuck about cha' phone book and all ya' pictures
Chilling at the club with all ya bitches
Lying on ya' dick save the drama
Got my eye on ya' bitch and ya baby mama, catch ya' snoozing
You know the rules pimp ya' bitch is chosing, ya' bout' to lose them
Yelling get cha' ass in the car bitch
But I'm much to fast with this hard dick
Short dog took ya' broad, it just can't be
Ya' bitch sucked me and fucked me and than she think me
I know the whole story, you ain't serving it right
I'll probably stop by and put some work in tonight
[Hook: Too Short]
You couldn't be a better player than me
Even if you fucked everyday of the week
I know you think you got it like that with P
I be fucking hoes every day of the week
I know you couldn't be a better player than me
Even if you rode in luxury
I know you smoke colting that top notch freak
You never could be a better player than me, biiitch!!!
[Chorus]
[Hook: East Side Boyz]
Now what's up fuck nigga what's up [2x]
You gone buck fuck nigga then buck [2x]
Ya' boys done left ya' now ya' stuck [2x]

My nigga trigger finger startin' to itch [2x]
You shouldn't have been no motherfucking bitch [2x]
[Too $hort:]
Now I don't give a fuck if you fuck the richest bitch on earth
You can be a jiggalo couldn't get more work
Cause I'm a player from way back taught by the best
No hater can fade me
I was short like the rest of y'all half stepping little dicks wanna be big
willie's, you got a bad case of the sillies
In the studio you make believers
In real life you more like the cape crusaders
Rushing to the scene to save them hoes
Everytime they come across them crazy folks
You cuff 'em hurry up and get em' to safety
But sooner or later the bitch gotta face me
Cause I put the game down from the start
And you ain't nothing but a dumb ass mark
Do yo' thing and watch me do mine
Get the bitch on the phone and we'll see who lying, nigga
WHAT! [until fade]

SUPERTRAMP lyrics - Crazy
Here's a little song to make you feel good
Put a little light in your day
These are crazy times
And it's all been getting pretty serious
Here's a little song to make you feel right
Send the blues away
Well it's a crazy game
Tell me who's to blame, I'm kind of curious.
Right if you win, wrong if you lose
Nobody listens when you're singing the blues
Well something's the matter, but nothing gets done
Oh everyone's waiting for a place in the sun
Well something is wrong now
Can something be wrong with me
Oh brother, why's it got to be so crazy...
Gimme little left, gimme little right
Gimme little black, gimme little white
Gimme little peace, gimme little hope
Gimme little light
'Cause you know it seems that the situation's getting serious.
Right if you win, wrong if you lose
Nobody listens when you're singing the blues
Well something's the matter, but nothing gets done
There's no use in waiting for a place in the sun
'Cause something is wrong now
Can something be wrong with me
Oh brother, why's it got to be so crazy...
Oh something is wrong with me
Oh brother, why's it got to be this crazy...
BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Roll Me Away
Took a look down a westbound road,
right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
and just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City
stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
and I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin'
Roll, roll me away,
won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word,
we just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top,
starin' out at the Great Divide
I could go east, I could go west,
it was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'
Roll, roll me away,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',
keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right

THE TEMPTATIONS WITH THE SUPREMES lyrics - Without A Song
(Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans)
Without a song
The day would never end
Without a song
The road would never have been
When things go wrong
A man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn
Would never ever see a plow
That field of corn
Would be deserted now
A man is born
But he's no good no how
Without a song
I've got my trouble and woe
But sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along
As long as a song
Is strung in my soul
I'll never know
What makes the rain to fall
I'll never know
What makes the grass so tall
I only know
There ain't no love at all
Without a song
LEO SAYER lyrics - The Dancer
(Leo Sayer/David Courtney)
Jeanette was a dancer
I suppose I knew her well
Her feet danced miracles
I was lost within her spell
Jeanette knew a singer
Was the leader of some band
Looked just like a boy
And stood just like a man
And it rains all down the avenue
Yes it rains all down the avenue
Just for you
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
The kids in the back street cry
You hear their voices in your brain
The world is full of hungry souls
Behind the window panes
Little Jenny on the high wire
Slow motion as she fell
Sometimes I think the wire is me
The tragedy as well
And it rains all down the avenue
Oh yes it rains all down the avenue
It rains all down the avenue
Just for you
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
[Solo]
I work on the west side
Jeanette I pulled your strings
I stood upon the pavement
I never owned a thing
And still I am the singer
I know my song so well
The rain falls through my eyes
And lands below the shell
And it rains all down the avenue
Yes it rains all down the avenue
Oh yes it rains all down the avenue
Just for you boy
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
THE BEATLES lyrics - I Saw Her Standing There
(Lennon/McCartney)
[1,2,3,4!]
Well, she was just 17
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (Ooh)
When I saw her standing there
Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh)
When I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine...
Whoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine...
Whoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there
DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Sometimes A Mind Changes
(Hall)
He heard a voice call his name
Pulling hard and telling him to make some change
He let a lot pass him by
Sacrificed his sacred fire to buy some time
To let it go sounds easy
What used to be a certainty
Is shifting with the sands of time
Sometimes a mind changes
Then another heart's got to fly away
She had a dream of family
Two by thirty
Living in love in tenderness
She let a lot pass her by
Sacrificed her sacred fire to buy some time
Letting go sounds easy
What used to be a certainty
Ain't true
Sometimes a mind changes
Then another heart's got to fly away

SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - Gotta Know The Rules
Spent my whole life, yeah
Looking for something
What it was, I'm not really sure
I looked for happiness
But only found sorrow
Then I realized how to unlock that door, yeah, yeah, yeah
So you think you've got it figured out
It don't come easy
Maybe just for fools
Some say life
Is a struggle now
It's a game now
Just gotta know the rules
Gotta know the rules
Loads of people go
Through life thinking
Take what you can and leave the weak behind
Never stop to think
What can you give now
Too afraid to learn what you might find, yeah, yeah, yeah
So you think you've got it figured out
It don't come easy
Maybe just for fools
Some say life
Is a struggle now
It's a game now
Just gotta know the rules
Gotta know the rules
I spent my whole life, yeah
Doing things my way
Doing unto others knowing it's wrong
When's the last time you
Looked in the mirror?
When's the last time you
Liked what you saw, yeah, yeah, yeah
So you think you've got it figured out
It don't come easy
Maybe just for fools
Some say life
Is a struggle now
It's a game now
Just gotta know the rules
Gotta know the rules
BRENDA LEE lyrics - Feels So Right
(Fred Wise - Ben Weisman)
Step in these arms, where you belong
It feels so right, so right
How can it be wrong?
There's something in the way you kiss
That makes me want to hold you tight
I know that nothing can't be wrong
That feels so right.
Each time we touch, you thrill me so
It means so much, so much
I can't let you go
This isn't only for tonight
We're gonna love our whole life long
'Cause baby, if it feels so right
How can it be wrong?

HENRY GROSS lyrics - Shannon
Another day's at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If Pop-pa were here I'm sure he'd tell her
Shannon, is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island with a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Mama tries hard to pretend
That things will get better again
Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her
But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her
Shannon, is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah, just like the one in our back yard
Ah....
Just like the one in our back yard

MARVIN GAYE lyrics - Give In, You Just Can't Win
You can try to win my love, but it's just too late
Try & try again, but to lose me is your fate
You can walk the streets till your feet refuse
But you won't find me; you'll find only the blues
Oh nothin' but the blues, oh baby
So give in, you just can't win
So give in, you just can't win
No, you just can't win
[MG:] Oh baby, baby, honey
You did me wrong when my love was true
You just led me on; now I've gone away from you, darlin'
If you call me on the phone to remove your pain
There'll be a busy signal, or else an endless ring
Oh nothin' but a ring, oh baby
So give in, you just can't win
So give in, you just can't win, oh
[TT:] Oh baby, give in
[Instrumental]
[MG:] Tell me, what do you get when you call me, honey?
[TT:] Just an endless ring, oh nothin' but a ring, oh baby
[Both:] So give in, you just can't win
So give in, you just can't win
[TT:] No, you just can't win
[MG:] Oh oh oh oh
[TT:] Oh baby give in, you know you just can't win
[MG:] Don't want your love no more, darlin'
[TT:] This stuff has got to stop
[MG:] Ah I can't stand it
[TT:] Don't need the love you got
[MG:] I don't want your love no more
[TT:] I've tried it before
[MG:] I don't want you no more, baby
[TT:] I don't need you no more
[...& fade]
BELINDA CARLISLE lyrics - Love In The Key Of C
(Rick Nowels)
I've been through some hard love
Sweet love
Impossible love
Deep love
But there was always a hitch
Something couldn't be fixed
A bit out of tune
With ending it soon
And just when I felt I had enough
And I thought my life just wasn't living it up
You came to me so magically
Giving me
Love in the key of C
I've been impressed
Depressed
Satisfied
Completely denied
But with you it just feels so right to me
We both came together so easily
And I can't believe that I love you (and)
You love me
Love in the key of C
Love in the key of C
You're my life's sweet harmony
It's the key of Amazing Grace
'Cuz you save my life
When it was all the way down
Your gentle love turned my life around
'Cuz with you it just feels so right to me
We both came together so incredibly
And I can't believe that I love you (and)
You love me (thank you God)
Love in the key of C
Love in the key of C
VANESSA PARADIS lyrics - St. Germain
(Vanessa Paradis / Johnny Depp)
Pour un exil
Ce petit bout de femme t'emmenera loin
Tout est permis
J'ai mis mes pas dans les siens
Elle est bien le soleil
Puisque tout tourne autour d'elle
Petite merveille
Pas si facile
D'etre aussi pure dans un monde qui l'est moins
Mille et une symphonies
Qu'elle inventera en un rien
Enfin le bonheur
C'est toutes les couleurs
De son coeur
Tu donnes gout a la vie
Je t'avoue je t'envie
T'es tout c'qui m'donne envie
M'donne la vie
Melody
Je m'adoucis
Quand je m'rends compte qu'au fond elle m'aime bien
Pour un de ses sourires je f 'rais
Le tour de la terre sur les mains
Aux nouvelles des etoiles
Elle fait briller son ame
Quand l'jour s'enflamme
Tu donnes gout a la vie
Je t'avoue je t'envie
T'es tout c'qui m'donne envie
M'donne la vie
Melody
DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - To Be With You
I turned out all the lights
In my old world
There in the dark I left a
Tremblin' crying darling girl
It's plain to see that you got me
Doin' what I have to do
To be with you.
I wonder how big a fool a man can be
Burnin' bridges, breakin' hearts,
And causin' miseries, right or wrong
I'll go on doin' what I have to do
To be with you.
It seems you possess me body and soul
You keep my heart to poundin' so
My mind can't take control
I can't change the things I fail to see
In time I know some things I've done
Gonna all come down on me
I'll get by, though I might cry
Doin' what I have to do
To be with you.

KISS lyrics - Talk To Me
When I see you, girl you turn my head, you make me dizzy
I get a good vibration
When I look into your big blue eyes, I start to quiver and shake
I get a strange sensation
When you walk by me you strut around, you make me crazy, I get no relaxation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation, talk to me
People tell me that you run around and that you're no good
You got a bad reputation
I don't care what all the people say, you know they talk too much
It's a fascination
All I wanna do is talk to you and maybe go out, and form some kind of relation
So talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why don't you
Talk to me - c'mon and talk to me
I just wanna talk to you
Girl I wish you knew the way I felt, you think I'm silly, that it's infatuation
So we better get together soon, because I need you girl
I can't stand the frustration, so
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why don't you
Talk to me - c'mon and talk to me
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - I just wanna talk to you
(repeats out)
BRIAN WILSON lyrics - There's So Many
There's so many dreams to dream of
Why not dream about my true love
And even though I can't be with her
I still have my fantasy
Fantasy world
There's so many risks to take
And if I lose my heart will break
I think I might take a chance on love again
Oh on love again
Love again
I wonder
Why has it taken so long
I wonder
If you know where you belong
Your face up in the sky
Where angels fly
In heaven's eye
Where planets are spinning around
There's so many songs to sing
I'm thankful for the love they bring
Don't let old scars keep us apart
We're gonna mend our broken hearts
Starting tonight
I wonder
If you know where you belong
I wonder
Why has it taken so long
To get you in my arms
To feel my love that is so strong
Where planets are spinning around
Planets are spinning around
BAD COMPANY lyrics - Knapsack
Oh darling be mine tonight
Wont you be my baby and treat me right
Oh darling you know you're my only love
Baby baby like the sun above
She got a heart of gold and something I call soul
She got everything I need ain't no flies on me
Oh baby won't you love me tonight
Oh baby I'm gonna treat you right
Take my hand and hold me tight
Take you in my arms and love you tonight
She got a heart of gold and something I call soul
She got everything I need ain't no flies on me
Baby when you wrote that letter
It went right to my heart
When I opened the envelope
I kew we were going to part
Oh-u-oh-u baby baby don't you treat me like a fool
Because baby baby I once went to school
Oh you know that I love you and I always will
Oh baby you sent me your bill
PATTI LABELLE lyrics - Down The Aisle (Wedding Song)
Down the aisle I'll walk with you
Just to hear the words I do
All of my life I want to be
Good and sweet till eternity
I do thee wed this day
With this ring we go our way
For better or worse I take thee wed
By your hand I will be led
Through the years we'll live in bliss
Life will be full of happiness
Oh chimes from the church bells will ring
With each hour they'll be rippling
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
I am yours to cherish and behold
With this little band of gold
VINCE GILL lyrics - Young Man's Town
(Vince Gill)
You wake up one morning, and it's passed you by
You don't know when, and you don't know why
You feel like an old memory hangin' 'round
Man you gotta face it - it's a young man's town
You know this day was comin' all along
So why bitch and moan and say they've done you wrong
Just teach 'em what you know, and pass it on down
'Cause man, you gotta face it - it's a young man's town
[Chorus:]
It's a young man's town full of young men's dreams
And all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
Sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it - it's a young man's town
You always seem to be the last to know
Man, it's just the way the story goes
There's nothing you can do when the fields have turned brown
Man, you gotta face it - it's a young man's town
[Chorus]
Well, sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it - it's a young man's town
T. REX lyrics - New York City
Did you ever see a woman
Coming out of New York City
With a frog in her hand
Did you ever see a woman
Coming out of New York City
With a frog in her hand
I did don't you know [3x]
And don't it show

THE OFFSPRING lyrics - Why Don't You Get A Job?
My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"
She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Why don't you get a job
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
Cause that girl's got expensive taste
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Why don't you get a job
Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all
But hey man free rides just don't come along
Every day
Let me tell you about my other friend now
My friend's got a boyfriend, man she hates that dick
She tells me every day
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say
HAWKWIND lyrics - The Fifth Second Of Forever (Circles)
(Brock / Lloyd-Langton)
There's a circle on a paper
High a planet in the sky
From the dust which will not settle
Hours is the time you lie.
Track your finger in the cluster
You've found the cause which is called must
Remember always you are nothing
Though others say that you must suss.
(You must trust the new messiah)
Of time which is the passing quasar
A venture short within ourselves
Through the veil of sleek emotion
The mists of dark cannot be felt.
ELTON JOHN lyrics - Li'L Frigerator
She looked so easy `cause she looked so young
With a geisha smile made in Taiwan
She got cherry bombs inside her eyes
And the luck of the Irish on her side
Don't let her tell you that she loves your mind
She's got her price, she can turn on a dime
Those crocodile tears ain't tears of pain
Look a little closer, that's acid rain
And I don't know
Why li'l frigerator you're so cold
Go li'l frigerator go
Get away from my soul
Li'l frigerator you're so cold
She's calculated with the kiss of death
Got a digital mind and expensive breath
She's an empty shell, you're a piece of meat
Just another statistic on her readout sheet
THE CHURCH lyrics - Macabre Tavern
[Incomplete Transcription]
[L]
First night of summer the air comes rushing in across the trees
Bringing strange birds from beyond....
Deep in some...she's gone to another place. Far far from here...
Sand filled waves crash down and churn on a moonlit beach, and
White...
[C]
I will drink with you to forget, if you have a brain I will
Eat with you, and in doing so...
Since the beginning of time...
With purchases intended...
[R]
The future ingests us as the past spits us out....
Lead to ridiculous one night schemes...
Never do anything twice...
Many dark nights and scramble for attention....
Many a dream of open possibilities...with conscious discontentment..
That's what they want, that's what they want to hear..
A miserable relic of ecstasy, a ruinous affair or an unexplained
Death. A kick in the head from a velvet boot of tristesse, and a
Cruel pinch of weary irony, misery monger, or pleasureman, leaves
Behind unsatisfied...
